Curvy Dates Features: Everything You Need to Find Love
Matches, messages and a members' feed, all built around curvy singles and the people who adore them.
Matches Chosen Around You, Every Day
Each day Curvy Dates suggests members who fit what you are looking for. The matching looks at the age range you want, gender and who you are interested in, how far away people live, how recently they have been active, the kind of relationship they want, lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking, and the interests you share. If you have ticked BBW, SSBBW, BHM, curvy or plus sized as part of who you are or who you like, that counts too.
You can also search for yourself. Free members can browse every profile; VIP members get advanced search filters for distance, city and what someone is open to, which saves an evening of scrolling.
Messages, chat and the feed
Get Talking in the Way That Suits You
Some people love a long message. Others would rather comment on a photo first. Both work here.
Chat Rooms and Group Chats
VIP members can join the members' chat rooms and start private group chats of up to 50 people, free and VIP members mixed, which is handy for planning a meet-up.
The Discovery Feed
Members post status updates, photos and short blogs. Commenting on someone's post is an easy, low-pressure way to say hello before you message.
Polls and Articles
Join in with polls and comment on articles. It is a good way to show your personality, and other members notice who joins in.
Know Who Is Real, and Who Is Kind
Plus size singles hear a lot about catfish and time-wasters. These features are there so you can tell the difference quickly.
- Free ID verification. Upload a government ID and a blue tick appears on your profile. It costs nothing on any plan.
- Video verification. A short live video check with a moderator confirms you are you, without sharing any documents.
- Admin profile validation. Our team reviews your profile by hand and adds a validation badge, again with no paperwork.
- Activity badges. Verified, Chatterbox, Heartthrob and Most Popular badges are earned, never bought, and they show someone is active and well liked.
- Member ratings. Every member has a rating built from how other people found talking to them, so kindness gets noticed.
Browse in Comfort, on Any Screen
Potentially explicit photos are blurred with a warning until you choose to see them, so nothing unexpected lands on your screen at work or on the bus. Your real name and email are never shown, and other members see only your nearest town, never your address.
Curvy Dates works in any phone browser and can be added to your home screen so it opens like an app. Our BBW dating app page shows how. Full details of the checks behind the scenes are on our safety page.
Extras When You Want to Stand Out
VIP adds unlimited messages, the chat rooms, advanced search, a list of everyone who likes you and the chance to rewind profiles you skipped. VIP Plus puts your profile at the top of your matches' daily suggestions, places your messages and likes first and opens a pool of exclusive matches. VIP Plus members can also buy a profile boost, which shows you to active members nearby, or a Super Match, a highlighted message that always lands at the top of someone's inbox.
Every plan and price is on the pricing page, and our comparisons show how the features stack up against other curvy dating sites.
